PURPOSE The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the long-term outcome of different methods of treatment in slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), to find risk factors for poor outcome, and to assess whether prophylactic fixation is indicated. METHODS Sixty-six patients (76 hips) treated for SCFE with a mean follow-up of 38 years (range 21-57 years) were evaluated. All excep...

Background: Genu valgum usually originates from a deformity of distal femur that is often corrected by distal femoralvarus osteotomy. The osteotomy includes both components of angulationcorrection and translation because the siteof osteotomy is not commonly at the apex of deformity. Improvement of patellar tracking not only depends on valguscorrection, but also it may be partially due to centra...

Open reduction combined with ulnar osteotomy is the most common approach to treating missed Monteggia injuries. The osteotomy is usually performed at the proximal ulna to ensure better healing and fewer complications. The purpose of this study is to present a center of rotation angulation (CORA)-based osteotomy of the ulna for treating Bado type I Monteggia injuries.We retrospectively reviewed ...

OBJECTIVE To present the incidence and management of dural tears and cerebrospinal fluid leakage during corrective osteotomy [Pedicle Subtraction Osteotomy (PSO) or Smith-Petersen Osteotomy (SPO)] for ankylosing spondylitis with kyphotic deformity. METHODS A retrospective study was performed for ankylosing spondylitis patients with fixed sagittal imbalance, who had undergone corrective osteot...

INTRODUCTION: Zudek syndrome (neuroreflex algodystrophy, accompanied by osteoporosis, limited range of motion in the wrist and interphalangeal joints, impaired blood flow associated trophic alterations) accounts for up to 62% complications fracture distal metaepiphysis radius. It may be a consequence primary action pathological factors (I type), or result from compression peripheral nerves (II ...

Objective: Our objective was to compare foot width (bony and soft tissues) in radiological images pre- vs. post-corrective scarf osteotomy patients with hallux valgus. Methods: We retrospectively performed measurements of forefoot (both bony diameter total including on anterior posterior standard radiographs 30 patients, totaling 42 feet, postoperatively, at three months. These were by two eval...
